<Begin Log>

Dr. Jones: So what's happened, Damien?

Dr. Ames: It was just a typical psych eval. I went through the questions, it answered me, standard stuff. Except, partway through, it showed me the recent paper it received. It seemed to be really happy about one of the articles. It shoved the paper in front of the camera and babbled about why it was happy…

Dr. Jones: Damien?

Dr. Ames: It was babbling and rambling, and then it stopped. It stopped talking and folded the paper and it looked at me, through the camera, with a smile that… just seemed wrong. And then it laughed. It laughed and… and then it said…

Dr. Jones: What did it say?"

Dr. Ames: 'Tick, tock, Dr. Ames. Tick, tock.'

<End Log>

Closing statements and Observations: Examination of security footage shows SCP-XXXX laughing at exactly 10 minutes after Dr. Ames entered the examination chamber and started the psychological evaluation.

Multiple tests with D-Class personnel have determined that the camera that was being used to observe SCP-XXXX was residing in the Red zone and as such, SCP-XXXX was able to affect the observer as though they were standing in the Red zone themselves.

Observation cameras have since been moved to the Yellow zone.

It is currently unknown how SCP-XXXX learned of Dr. Ames' name.
